A Hope for Home
A book compiling financial biographies resulting from the FIND project (Finance in Displacement - Exploring and Strengthening Financial Lives of Refugees), a research partnership between Catholic University Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Tufts University's Fletcher School and the International Rescue Committee, facilitated by Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. The FIND team conducted empirical research in Jordan and Kenya to gain insights into how refugee and asylum-seeking households manage their finances in urban settings. The publication, designed with inspiration from imprints, was primarily web-based with some printed copies in English and Arabic. Responsibilities included concept, design, and print production coordination for the book.
Authored by Swati Mehta Dhawan and Hans-Martin Zademach
Book illustrations by Liyou Zewide
